Nile Cruise Tour of M/S Tuya Nile River from Luxor

Beginning with breakfast on your Egypt Nile River Cruise, begin your Luxor day tours when you are picked up for a tour of the archaeological sites of ancient Egypt by Luxor West Bank Tours. These sites include the Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, also known as the "Holy of Holies," which is one of the best-preserved architectural structures, and the Valley of the Kings, where you will see the well-preserved tombs of the kings of the new kingdom, including the powerful Ramses II and the young monarch Tut Ankh Amon.

It has three levels that are connected by ramps, and the walls are decorated with various scenes that tell the story of the Queen's divine birth and her commercial expedition to Punt Land. The primary purposes of the temple are to worship Amon-Ra, the supreme god, and the two massive statues known as the Colossi of Memnon, which depict King Amenhotep III in a seated position.
